THE GOVERNMENT will start a gradual move towards roac equivalent tariff for Scottisf shipping services, starting ir April next year.
Scottish Secretary Georga Younger announced last wee!, that charges for Caledoniar MacBrayne west coast and P&C Northern Isles serviceswill star to be based on a form of RE — charging the equivalent o taking a vehicle by road over thc same distance — from 1982/83.,
But Mr Younger said that an immediate move to RET would impose too great a strain on finances, and it will be a few years before the complete system is in operation.
